LATIN PERCUSSION Classic "Top-Tuning" Conga LP552T-DW

Sometimes an idea can seem totally revolutionary, and yet at the same time seem so obvious that you wonder why no one has done it before. Such is the case with LP's new LP Series Top-Tuning Congas.

The idea is indeed simple: Create a system that allows a conga drum to be tuned from the top, without having to turn the drum, lift it out of its basket, or remove it from its stand. With top tuning, the player can access every tension bolt quickly and easily in order to tune the head evenly for a good fundamental pitch.
